Seen how this plays out too many times gonna wait a day or two and pick up some long dated puts

Yes. Options have existed for a very, very long time, well before 0 DTE existed, for starters, so prior to 2022, daily 0 DTE wasn’t possible. To more directly answer your question, and also disagreeing with the other regarded individual who replied to you: options can very much be profitable to retail. Simple, long-dated calls are one way to do it. For example, if you mechanically buy a 2-year SPY call whenever the market’s down more than 20% and hold to expiration, you’re likely to come out way ahead (past performance doesn’t guarantee future profit blah blah). The market is not often down 20%, so this isn’t a get-rich quick strategy, but it’s not unreasonable and has historically very good returns if you’re choosing a strike that isn’t absurdly OTM (say, if you pay for an at-the-money call). You can reduce the cost (and profit/risk) by using a long-dated spread instead (so for example buying the at-the-money and selling a call 10% above the current price at the same expiration). There’s also selling index puts - again, not a road to riches, but as a way to add a small amount of leverage during times of elevated volatility. The typical internet-approved version of this is to sell 15-30 delta, 45 DTE puts, but there are a ton of ways to do this profitably, and also plenty of ways to quickly blow up your account. If you’re selling options, you very much need to be keenly aware of the leverage you’re handling, and also how volatility changes both the options price and the margin requirement (you can get blown out of a short put due to changing margin requirements even when the trade remains profitable). The question you asked is really broad, something like “how do you build a house,” so I’m speaking in really broad terms with just two tiny examples in an ocean of possibilities. But the short answer is yes, you can very much be long-term profitable with options strategies. However, ultimately, options are just another tool. You really need a thesis on the underlying, and if that’s wrong, some complex options genius setup isn’t going to save you from being wrong. So don’t get too caught up in the options mechanics at the expense of understanding why the underlying is behaving the way it is. It’s the latter that will make you money; options just add to the toolbox and can, for example, make you money if the underlying doesn’t move (which isn’t possible with shares apart from whatever dividends you get).

I probably sold you one or two of those. You fucking retard.

But you could just drop 5-10m per day on 0dte spy C/P.

Altimmune (ALT) just closed a big $225M oversubscribed funding round in late April, giving the company a solid runway to push its lead drug pemvidutide into Phase 3 for MASH. With Q1 earnings coming up on May 13, the stock looks primed for a bounce back toward the $5–6 zone as the financing overhang clears and investors focus on the upcoming catalysts. Smart money (RA Capital, Viking, Deep Track, etc.) piled in for a reason — they see real potential in this dual-agonist for liver and metabolic diseases. Classic early-stage biotech setup: high risk, but the capital injection removes a major worry and sets up the next leg higher if the data delivers.” Short, straightforward, and realistic no hype, just the setup. 4k on May 15 2.5 C

They have dibs on the best chip packing tech for a few years and have cracked their latest node, and next gen by the sounds. Combine that with excellent new mobile cpu designs, revamped x86, and they're pretty much two big tech foundry customers away from the big break (who are all hiring to test intel's production process), along with some foundries coming online next year and a bunch of other things like wafer efficiency upticks and agenic ai cpu usage. Essentially, they've turned a massive corner. Their balance sheets will go from huge capex sinks to profit machines. It's remarkable, and could have went up shits creek if they didn't pull off the current node production.

I had one of the sketchiest flights with them and I thought I was going to die. At first, they said they couldn't find the plane (check the hanger?), so we waited two hours for them to "find" it. As we board the plane, the power kept cutting out, the pilot over the intercom said that we would be taxied out on the runway and jumpstarted. They ended up replacing the APU and the power cuts stopped. Take off felt like the plane was going sideways. Never again.

Finally moved out from my two bedroom apartment to somebody’s moldy basement. Goals.
